Mughal Empire was the only state before the British Raj that even came close to forcefully creating an artificial but unified "Indian identity", and they did this from scratch with no historical precedent, binding disparate tribes with nothing in common. That's an impressive achievement.
Actually no. Nandas, Mauryas, Guptas, Palas, etc. take over land just as much as the Mughals or more.
And the concept of Hindustan wasnt their creating.
